Page: https://docs.flybywiresim.com/pilots-corner/beginner-guide/preflight/ Last sentence in first paragraph of Nav Data: "may fail due to an outdated/incorrect AIRAC cycle [missing the word "an"]

Page: https://docs.flybywiresim.com/fbw-a32nx/feature-guides/simbrief/#setup-a32nx-simbrief-integration Last line of 2nd paragraph in the "Overriding SimBrief User ID box: "successful" is misspelled [missing the last "s"]

Page: https://docs.flybywiresim.com/pilots-corner/beginner-guide/preparing-mcdu/#dct-before-a-waypoint Second bolded sentence on discontinuties. Just a suggestion: Change "See below link..." to "See the Discontinuities link below..." (Or just "See the link below...") to be consistent with the conversational style used on this page.

Same page, first paragraph under Arrival ILS -- Suggest replacing "is at climb phase or greater..." with "is in the climb phase or a later phase..."

https://docs.flybywiresim.com/pilots-corner/beginner-guide/preparing-mcdu/#init-fuel-pred Paragraph under ECAM FOB: Replace ", it is referenced in '"tons", and we should round..." with ", it is referenced in "tonnes," which is 1000 kg, and we should round..." [A ton is 2000 pounds. A tonne is 1000 kg.]

Same page, further down under SimBrief OFP: The text says the planned block fuel stated in the OFP is 4631 kg, but then directs the user to enter 4.7 as the block fuel amount. No explanation is given for rounding up.

Page: https://docs.flybywiresim.com/fbw-a32nx/feature-guides/loading-fuel-weight/#center-of-gravity Aircraft CG envelopes box, 3rd line: "is a rather long winding concept..." I think what was meant here is "is a rather long winded concept..." but I suggest changing it to something like "can be difficult."

Page: https://docs.flybywiresim.com/pilots-corner/beginner-guide/takeoff-climb-cruise/#chapters-phases Second paragraph of description of the fly-by-wire system: "Electrical Flight Control System (EFCS)" should be "Electronic Flight Control System (EFCS)" This same mistake is repeated in the Abbreviations section

Page: https://docs.flybywiresim.com/pilots-corner/beginner-guide/takeoff-climb-cruise/#preparation-and-below-the-line-checklist-post-to-clearance Last line under step 5: "are only shown via the Flight Director..." [missing the word "the"]

Page: https://docs.flybywiresim.com/pilots-corner/beginner-guide/takeoff-climb-cruise/#3-initial-climb Box containing information on flap retraction during takeoff and climb: It does not include a CONF 3 takeoff and incorrectly states that flaps are retracted by only one step at a time. For a CONF 3 takeoff, flaps are retracted directly to CONF 1+F at F speed.

Page: https://docs.flybywiresim.com/pilots-corner/beginner-guide/descent/#2-starting-the-descent After the Using V/S box on this page, there are a couple of short paragraphs on ATC descent guidance. The last line says, "We should only descent to the constraint's altitude." "Descent" should be "descend."

Page: https://docs.flybywiresim.com/pilots-corner/beginner-guide/landing/#1-intercepting-the-ils-localizer After discussion of Tower ATC giving clearance for the ILS approach, there is a bolded statement, "Do not descent without explicit clearance from ATC." "Descent" should be "descend."
